I've been using 75wt silicon oil for close to 5 years now without any issues. I think it's also known as shock oil for RC cars

I've found Airsoft Innovations Tornado grenade oil to be perfect for lubing GBBR bolts, o-rings, buffer tube, etc. However, I would advise NOT running it through the areas where gas travels through the projectile path, though - this would cause a lot of fouling due to the viscosity of it and its tendency to pick up dirt.

For standard GBB pistols, all you need is 2-3 drops of Airsoft Innovations light weight silicone oil in your propane tank every 8-10 fills.

I don't make my guns pretty for nothing.

When there's enough bling on them I invite
my gun pals over to check them out. I close
the door and when they're done "looking"
the piece is very slippery.

May I recommend Ironsight and Murdoch,
they are very luby fellows, especially as a
duo.
